No work on the plane today. I needed to catch up with other things going on. However, the one thing I wanted to figure out was if I needed any more holes for wiring in the wings. It's not impossible to do it later, but it is nice to have some foresight.

The major items that I can think of that would need to be thought out ahead of time are:
1) OAT
2) Pitot Head
3) Autopilot
4) Pitot Pressure
5) Angle Of Attack (Pitot Based)

I was lucky enough to stumble through Dan Checkoways site and found a pic of how he did his wiring. Feom what it looks like, he has a 3/8" hole on the top for the pitot, 7/16" or 1/2" hole in the middle for the autopilot and maybe a 1/4" hole in the bottom for the pitot heat.

I also ran across Dave Parson's website and saw that he put his servo in the right wing. That makes a little more sense to me. I can use the existing 7/16" hole for the autopilot wiring that in the left wing would be been used for the pitot.
